![]() Some of the same problems that exist at school have the potential of existing at home with virtual school. Just like being at an actual school, these pre-teens and teenagers have to make sure they are presentable/looking good before logging onto their classes and have to greet all of their friends and turn off their cellphones before the lesson begins because that will be a big distraction for them just as it would in the classroom. Secondary school age students have to be extremely disciplined and focused in order to be successful in virtual learning. It is hard to keep their attention in the classroom so virtual learning now becomes extremely harder. As an educator you have to find creative ways to keep children attention on the screen especially since they're in the comfort of their home with all their toys and all the other luxuries within the house they desire. Individualizing lessons and giving mini breaks can help students stay engaged during short synchronous sessions. A key to keeping Kindergartners engaged in distance learning can be challenging. In addition to the scheduled class time, there are usually additional assignments to complete. Therefore, these lessons are socially constructed. This is done either through text, video, or audio chat. The instructor and students all interact online at the same time. On the other hand, synchronous online courses happen in real-time. Usually, the only interactions that take place are through discussion boards, blogs, and wikis. There is no scheduled time when the class meets. Typically for this type of learning, the students are given the assignments and information and are expected to complete the assignments by the due date. The courses that are independent and self-paced are called asynchronous courses. Class sizes range widely from a small group of 6 pupils or students to hundreds in a virtual school. Instructional models vary, ranging from distance learning types which provide study materials for independent self-paced study, to live, interactive classes where students communicate with a teacher in a class group lesson. Experts say that because the number of students studying at the college level is growing, there will also be an increase in the number of students enrolled in distance learning. The total number of students studying on a campus exclusively dropped by 931,317 people between the years 20. 29.7% of all higher education students are taking at least one distance course. In 2015, more than 6 million students were taking at least one course online, this number grew by 3.9% from the previous year. There are currently more than 4,700 colleges and universities that provide online courses to their students. Virtual education is becoming increasingly used worldwide.
